A Note from Kristen and Sophie

We were losing our minds and no one was listening.

I forgot a client’s name in a meeting. Sophie blanked in the middle of a presentation. Deadlines slipped. Projects went sideways. She got replaced quietly. I wondered if I was losing my memory.

Doctors ran tests. Everything was normal. Stress, they said. Nothing to worry about. That did not make the panic go away.

Months later we figured it out. It was perimenopause. Hormones shifting quietly, stealing focus, memory, confidence. Not our brains failing. Just a part of life no one had told us about.

We wanted to fix it. We found mushrooms. Lion’s Mane for thinking. Cordyceps for energy. Reishi for calm. Chaga for protection. Studied compounds that actually help the brain.

Quil came from that. The word comes from tranquility. Clarity without calm is nothing. We built it for women who refuse to disappear inside their own heads.

If you are feeling this fog too, you are not alone. Email us, share your story, or just reach out. Sometimes the first step is simply being heard. hello@quil.life
